[Macbook just hanging when i use Xor (1.10.4 build)]

Thanks Hangman,    I will take a look at the links over the course of this weekend.

Yeah, thanks for the compliment , Glass work and the traditional kiln fired painting needs a keen + attention to details and the glass its self is just shapes  after all, hence my need for shape building tools ( i find it more productive to just sketch out the lead lines then recreate full size in vector software) .  im based in Ripley , Derbyshire .

Thanks Guys ✌️.   My needs for vector software are really simple . I design stained glass artwork and windows and don't need all the bells and whistles that these programs offer.   

 

Hangman ,  I ended up using a rectangle set to the heart thickness of Lead ( lead for glass work) , i didn't think to expand the stroke , which i figure is basically the same . .  Thanks for your Videos . 

 

Are there any good places on the web to learn the Affinity interface and work around for someone coming from Adobe products?.. 

 

Again, thank you lads for taking the time to reply!!,

 

Best ,

Hi , The Xor & intersect just keep hanging when i try to use it , one once or twice , Every time.      Im using a Macbook pro 2020 M1 silicon with OS 12.0.1   . 

 

i have tried splitting two circles and 6 lines to form a boarder , similar to a port hole etc . it just hang

I have had it with the pricing of Adobe products , and have been testing other options out . Im currently using the Trial version of Designer ( which i assume is the full software)  , Affinity Designer was coming in at the top of the list but if i cant divide shapes / build shapes , then Affinity designer is next to no use to me .   

 

screen shots attached.

 

Hope to get a reply Asap

 

Cheers
